Hi,
Just out of curiosity, once you have booted into M$ what is the additional 
time to "boot" into Wubi ?

P.S. this is the second time I mail this, first time it was rejected, I got

If you are curious (although I have no need to apologise publicly to a mail 
that was sent to me privatly by a machine) this is what happened:

Anyone *but the list* can mail me at xxx at freesurf.ch because...
My provider is closing the mail account I was using (xxx at freesurf.ch) and 
forcing me to take a new mail account (xxx at sunrise.ch, served by 
pop.gmail.com instead of pop.freesurf.ch)

I didn't expect any side effect since my *old address is redirected* and I 
still receive mails @freesurf.ch but obviously the system managing the list 
is having a hickup.

I just unsubscribed and tried to resubscribe with the same address to see if 
the system would catch up...  no way ;-(
Finally it worked with my address @sunrise.ch

If you read this far, perhaps you can explain.

Just out of curiosity		Perry
